European, Brazilian, and American pork exporters compete not only for China but also for Japan and Korea.

Bartosz Czarniak analyzes the profitability data of Polish pig production in December and compares it with the data for August.

We are at the end of an exceptional and strange year. Guillem Burset examines the factors that have shaped the hog market this year.

After months and months, the Spanish price has dropped to be in line with those of its community partners; the cause has been the difficulty in exporting to Third Countries, although the reduced slaughter in Central Europe has been a lifesaver.

Over the years, the EU has established regulations that have governed the industry. How has this affected the profitability of production and the prospects for the EU pork market?

Guillem Burset gives us the keys to understanding the current European pork trade situation. He also forecasts when the price will stop falling.

Strong growth in production and thus exports is followed by an unstoppable concentration. ASF, a threat.

The pig price in Spain has been falling for nine consecutive weeks. Guillem Burset gives us the keys to interpret this.

The Spanish pig price can only go down. The million-dollar question is when.

Mercolleida has had the same price for the 13th time in a row. Spain continues to have the most expensive pig price in the world in what is now known as the "Spanish Miracle".

What implications do current hog prices in Spain have for exports and slaughterhouses? How will we manage the typical reduced supply in the summer, exacerbated this year by PRRS?

Slaughterhouses will suffer a very complicated summer; in addition to the normal lack of pigs, there will be the absence of hundreds of thousands of piglets, victims of PRRS. Sooner rather than later, we will only be able to slaughter just four days a week.

European and American users are optimistic and forecast prices even higher than current levels, while in Asia the forecasts are lower.

The self-sufficiency rate of pig production in the EU will tend to decrease, approaching 110% instead of 125% as it has been until recently. Burset reviews the situation in the leading countries.
